NEW! Stately 3BR/2.5BA near Rockwood
Be the first to stay in this brand new listing! You'll never want to leave this cozy home in the peaceful Rockwood area of Durham. A generous kitchen, cozy den and spacious dining room will be your main hang out zones - unless you're working in the sunny living room. Upstairs, 3 comfortable bedrooms will beckon you to relax at the end of the day. You'll love the deck - perfect for grillin' or just watching the birds. More details to come as we finish setting up the house for August!
We travel a lot - in fact, you're staying here because we're not! Our friend Emily will be your primary contact. She's just down the road if you need anything.
The Rockwood area contains the best of both worlds: quiet, tree-lined streets to wander or jog just a quick ride to some of the perennially best restaurants Durham has to offer: Brunch at Foster's Market, lunch at the Saltbox, date night at Nana's, or pick up a bottle for home at Wine Authorities. There are few places you'll feel more at home.
You will have the whole house all to yourselves, including the gorgeous yard and off-street parking for up to 3 cars.
Our home is your home! We hope you'll be just as comfortable here as well always have. We will continue to update the details of the house as we get closer to our first reservation opening of Aug 15, but meanwhile, here's your preview! The first floor boasts generous gathering spaces, comfy seating and a well appointed kitchen. The cozy den is the perfect family gathering space to play games, watch games, or settle around the working fire place. The sunny living room includes a bright desk area for daytime, and a classic drinks cart for when you clock out. Between the eat-in kitchen and formal dining room, you'll get to choose how to share your meals - and have plenty more places to spread out to work. The back deck includes a grill overlooking the gorgeous yard full of native plantings. If you're lucky enough to travel during azalea season, you won't be disappointed! Upstairs, you'll get to choose between 3 spacious bedrooms. The primary bedroom has a king-sized tempurpedic dual-adjustable bed - you'll rest in the lap of luxury! The additional bedrooms hold queen beds and copious closet space. You'll also find the washer/dryer on the second floor.
You'll have parking for 3 cars comfortably in the driveway, and street parking is free (just be courteous of the neighbors driveways!)

The house was very nicely equipped. The only missing appliance is a toaster. We had to use the over to toast a bagel in the morning. The only problem is the a/c is programmed to turn off every few hours so that you have to keep turning it back on. The backyard was wonderful.

Wonderfully Comfortable
We have stayed in many VRBO homes over the years, this one was exceptional. Very clean and welcoming. The beds were comfortable and anything we needed was provided. The kitchen was a dream to cook in, well stocked. The property manager was wonderful to work with. We stayed in this home for 28 days and it felt like we were in our own home. When we visit this area in the future we will definitely be staying here. Thanks for the amazing hospitality.

Great property, Vrbo app difficulties
Absolutely fantastic property to stay in. Kitchen well stocked and easy to cook in. Beds very comfy. We had difficulty communicating via vrbo with property manager. Also expected a confirmation email from vrbo which resulted in a bit of anxiety, all that no reflection on the property or it’s managers. Also, spent 30 minutes trying to get Vrbo on the phone, again no reflection on the property.

A Charming Respite
We loved the gardens and the neighborhood for walking, resting, and just taking in all the mature landscaping. The interior too was comfortable.
The furnishings and layout were thoughtful and well appointed. The kitchen had just about any tool you could want.
We were not here for business but the location was prime, with commutes into town mere minutes.
